Eltex® HD5240GA-B

Eltex® HD5240GA-B is a high density polyethylene copolymer grade with a narrow molecular weight distribution, specially developed for injection of caps and closures applications requiring good environmental stress-cracking resistance. Thanks to high purity and excellent organoleptic properties, this grade is particularly intended for the packaging in direct contact with beverages.
Typical applications

• Caps and closures for the packaging of juices, functionalized beverages and slightly carbonated or pressurized beverages

Benefits and Features

• Easy processing

• Good environmental stress cracking resistance

• High impact strength

• Low warpage

• Grade containing slip agent ensuring easy application and opening. Exposure to direct sunlight has to be avoided as the slip agent is light sensitive and its degradation can give off-taste to the beverage.

• Excellent, quality controlled organoleptic properties. In order to preserve the excellent organoleptic properties, it is important not to exceed a melt temperature of 250°C during processing.
